The concept of birthstones originates from the Book of Exodus in the Bible. It describes the Breastplate of Aaron, a ceremonial garment adorned with 12 gemstones representing the 12 tribes of Israel. In the first century AD, Jewish historian Titus Flavius Josephus and later Christian scholars connected these 12 stones to the 12 months of the year and the zodiac signs.
